Description
Front 242’s entire history was clearly defined from the start when Daniel B. and Dirk Bergen released the first single “Principles” with the hit song “Body to Body” in 1981. In 1982, Patrick Codenys – keyboards and Jean-Luc De Meyer – vocals join Front 242 and they release the single “U-Men” followed by the first full-length album “Geography”. This album already displayed the cold, synthetic brand of dance music that would become Front 242’s signature sound in the following years. In 1983, Dirk Bergen left and Richard 23 joined the band as stage performer and vocalist.In 2003, after a long studio absence, Front 242 released the EP “Still & Raw” and the album “Pulse”. Based on an aesthetic from the 70’s and 80’s, when German bands influenced the roots of today’s electronic music. Front 242 re-invented the original sound that was at the centre of their art and enriched it by 20 years of experience. Analogue technologies and vintage machines pulsing into deconstructed tracks where emotion and research leads to a purely electronic attitude.
Recent years have seen the members of Front 242 taking a break to pursue various solo projects.
